Don't you just love A/C....

Tyson-182 · May 4, 2006

....In this sort of weather? :rasp:

Who care's about 0.2 of a second when we are extremely cool in our beloved FF 172/182's...(and the "other" odd exceptions).

brilliant isn't it. although u cant rele beat having the windows open on a really hot day!!

Timmay · May 4, 2006

love my air con but sometimes good to have windows open all the way for the breeze effect!

Cam · May 4, 2006

Depends where your driving. Windows open for going slow around town, A/C on for motorways etc.

Turkish · May 4, 2006

Makes me laugh when people say "its not warm enough in the UK to need A/C" piss off, it bloody well is. Hopefully these misguided fools remember those immortal words next time they are sat in traffic and are suffering a bad case of sweaty sack.

Track'd · May 4, 2006

Too right, it's my first car with AC what a difference. No more leaning across to open passenger window. (Ford Ka = basic)....roll on proper summer!!

Agreed!

Unfortunately my Mk1 doesn't have air-con, but ah well, i rarely drive on motorways anyway. I prefer having my windows wide open in the summer whilst driving round town rather than having air conditioning on so i don't really mind.

Turkish · May 4, 2006

You'll find they are the same people at FCS and trax etc that are angling to sit in your car with the A/C on to cool down because theirs is hotter than a cremation furnace from being sat out in the sun all morning

i was one of those when i brought my dynamique think i was just saying it to save myself 600 quid on aircon ...car only lasted 1 summer before chopping it in lol

_Kenny_ · May 4, 2006

Love the A/C, what a refreshing change it was when I first got the car.

Cliobcx · May 4, 2006

Sweaty sack XD

Im glad to say ive never experienced it. Mainly because i dont have any!

Sounds very uncomfortable tho!:S

Turkish · May 4, 2006

It works both ways though, no-one likes a sweaty yawning donkey either (owner or otherwise) pants containing something that smells like a fishmongers armpit isnt a good thing.

Clang · May 4, 2006

Believe it or not today is the first time I've really used the A/C C/C in anger. Much better than the C/C in the Cupra I had before. In fact better than any of the cars I've had before.

Sweaty sack... LOL

Ali · May 4, 2006

Why how hot is it? It's emmm pissing wi rain as per usual in Aberdeen.

al · May 4, 2006

It's gorgeous! Specially in a black car

It's a bit odd having CC and a Sunroof tho :s

Got aircon in my office at work too

Leeshez · May 4, 2006

I put mine today and the dam thing blew hot air out, the car had stood there all day in the bakin sun. It is great when it gets down to temp.

Subway · May 4, 2006

i bet you also have some of these so you dont stick to your seat like the taxi drivers have

makavelli · May 4, 2006

it is nice when stuck in traffic, but i love an open window when in motion

Munday · May 4, 2006

Was 29 degrees earlier in Wallingford, Oxfordshire.

Was driving with the air con on at lunchtime and its so refreshing

Zorba_the_greek · May 4, 2006

Loony.........do you aim the air vents at your donkey?

Turkish · May 4, 2006

I dont own a donkey but if i did i would. I do point out it may be a good idea to any donkey owning passengers that i may have though.

Zorba_the_greek · May 4, 2006

what the hell do you own!?

I completely agree with this

I went for a drive from Glasgow to Lochgilphead and back on Saturday and eventually turned the A/C off and opened the windows instead. It makes those fun drives on hot days even better.

Tyson-182 · May 4, 2006

25 degrees in Manchester...Warmest day of the year so far, and the first time i have used my A/C, what a refreshing change! I think i need a beer now...

DaveJwxm · May 4, 2006

ive have no aircon

DaveJwxm · May 4, 2006

but i have a rattling sunroof

KyleB · May 4, 2006

id like aircon, but do love the sound of driving when the window is down and your booting it on some quiet country roads, makes the experience better for me
